Health care delivery system in Nepal has been improving & more population now has access mainly in primary health care. People’s life expectancy has been increased substantially compared to the past due to advancement, availability & information dissemination of medical & health care services. However, specific health services targeted to specific groups is still lacking.Traditionally it’s been the immediate family members who have been the primary care givers especially for their older relatives. There has been a distinct change in our society in terms of the mass movement of the youth to foreign countries in search of better job opportunities. This has led to households full of older people –without the support of their younger relatives. While major health issues have to be treated in the hospital, there are so many relatively minor health problems that can be addressed by home services.This project has been initiated recognizing the need for such specialized health care.
